In the past, police have sent in underage customers to try and buy an alcoholic drink without an ID. If they’re served, they leave the bar, without consuming the drink, and report the incident to an awaiting officer.
Manna House, Sabzi and Sweet Chili all received a one-day alcohol license suspension for their first offense.

Selectmen chairman Daniel Dunn has taken a vocal stance against restaurant’s serving to underage customers, so it’ll be interesting to see what he has to say on Monday.
